title: Nutrition concerns in Bangladesh: the focus for improvement.
abstract: The results of efforts to identify the prevailing nutritional deficiency disorders in Bangladesh and major topics of local scientific investigation influencing those nutrient disorders are reviewed. Primary areas of emphasis include studies addressing nutritional status (especially vitamin A); factors influencing diarrheal incidence, morbidity and mortality; child nutrition; the influence of seasonal variations; and the implementation of successful intervention programs. Programmatic implications of the findings are presented.
